Melchett - HMS Endurance has already been slated for withdrawal. My father captained the previous ship of the name from 78-80, and he and his predecessors had all warned the FO of the impending problems in the FI. He then worked his backside off in the first half of 1982 making sure we got them back again.
He and I were wallpapering on the last Sunday of Jan 82 when the duty Commander rang him from the MoD to tell him of the landings on S Georgia. We had lunch and went back to London (where I also lived and worked) early.
Those who forget the lessons of history are condemned .....
